"hly Brother Lehi, born Xovember 1854 at Cedar City Utah, was five feet nine inches in height and weighed 155 pounds. H e was very light in romplesiou, followed farming, stock raising and general business. By strict economy, thrift and industry, he made his way up to a goodsuccess. Being the oldest son to live ( . % h a died at age 3 ) , he took very early in life the responsibility of the care of the family, in which he took a noble and intelligent part. I have never known of a better boy, young man, and now an old man than Lehi W. Jones. For many yea]+ Lehi has taken an active part in matters of a public nature where health and education etc. have called for not only wisdom in the handling, but it has called for cash, and someone to stand in the gap where good credit was needed." Lehi's boys never delved into the details of how he spent or invested his money hecause they felt it was his business and he knew what he was doins. He actually managed the Jones operation, and his sons counseled with him. They always took his advice and felt good about it - they trusted his judgment, even when they were grown men with families. On one occasion when Lehi was an old man, he asked his son, Henry, what he thought about his helping his brother Kumen, financially. Henry said, "Father, that's your husiness and if you want to help your brother, you are entitled to." Lehi's brothers looked to him more as a father than a brother because of their father's having died at such an early age. When this happened, Lehi took the responsibility and was the only father they ever knew. He kept that responsildity as long as he lived and as long as his brothers lived.' Lehi's son, \\.ill, took him to Bluff, Utah to see Kumen a few months hefore Komen died. Kumen had had his leg amputated April 30, 1936 and was almost an invalid. When Kumen and Lehi met, they threw their arms around each other and displayed the closeness and love they had for each other, not only as hrothers but more ns the affection of a father and son. They talked for many hours while \Vill and his son. Milton, \.isitcd relativcs. When they returned, Kumen made the statement, as he parted Lehi on the knee, "This man right here has been a man all of his life."" Kumen was one of the organizers and first directon of the first Cooperative Co. at Bluff, and he gave prolon~ed service as its Superintendent. He held the office of hishop ten years and served as Justice of the Peace, as well as a member of the School Board." Kumen died June 11, 1942. 226
